You can't get AIDS from a hug or a handshake or a meal with a friend.
Magic Johnson
A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom. Just like right now with the whole mortgage crisis, I want to help people get back into their homes.
Magic Johnson
Just celebrate the life you had, not the life you could've had.
Magic Johnson
